Hello, I am starting to plan a birthday party for my husband and I was wondering how to cook for 42 guests potentially! I have never cooked past 18 guests. I am a little nervous but feel I can do it! My plan is to make Meatballs, Baked ziti, Roast Pork, and Pasta Salad. How much do you feel I will need to estimate when I am grocery shopping. Thank you so much!! |

You need some electric roasters and/or roasting pans for your oven. A FULL 6 quart crock pot serves a side dish for about 30. 42 guests is 4-5 pounds dry pasta for ziti (4-5 9x13 pans, 2 half pans), 3 pounds dry for pasta salad, 1 pound meatballs per 4. 2 pounds raw boneless pork per 5. |
